Government of the United Kingdom of Tyras


The government of Tyras operates under a semi-presidential, unitary system. The country's parliament, called the Koinovoulio, shares power with the President. The King of Tyras also shares some powers with the President, but is largely fills a figurehead role.

The Koinovoulio (Parliament)
The Koinovoulio consists of two houses: the Gerousia (Senate) that is the upper house, and the Ethniko Kongreso (National Congress) that is the lower house. The latter has the most power of the two and the words "Parliament" or "Koinovoulio" are usually synonymous with it. Unless stated otherwise, Parliament and Koinovoulio will refer to the National Congress in this post.

MembersVoting SystemTerm LengthPresiding OfficerRoles and Powers
Ethniko Kongreso (National Congress)300Party-list proportional representation. Political parties put forth a list of candidates and voters vote for the party. The number of candidates elected from a party is determined by the proportion of the votes that party earned.4 YearsPrime MinisterThe National Congress is responsible for domestic affairs, as opposed to the President who is responsible for the foreign affairs of the country. As Tyras's legislature, it has all the powers typical of legislative bodies, such as passing laws, setting taxes, approving treaties, etc. It elects one of its own (or the Senate) as Prime Minister, who then appoints the cabinet with the King's consent and approval. The President, however, must also approve of the Foreign Minister.
Gerousia (Senate)No limit, but there are currently 26 members.Varies. Institutions are granted by the National Congress the right to give one of their own a seat in the Senate. How any institution fills their seat is dependent upon their own rules. Some appoint members (the Tyrric Armed Forces), others elect from within their own group (University of Tyras).4 YearsKing of TyrasThe Senate is essentially powerless, intended to be a technocratic advisory group to the National Congress. Many of its members have ended up serving as a Cabinet minister or in some other capacity in the Cabinet ministries. Senators are meant to be preeminent experts in whatever field they represent, such as education, health, science, economics, etc. The one concrete power they do have is to delay the vote or implementation of bills and laws being considered by the National Congress (but they cannot veto anything on their own)..

The Presidency
The President is Tyras's head of state. The primary role of the President is to handle the nation's foreign policy. He or she is the country's top diplomat, responsible for negotiating treaties and agreements with foreign nations and institutions.

His area or responsibility includes military matters, some aspects of which are shared with the Parliament. The Parliament funds the military, while the President acts as its Commander in Chief. Military deployments overseas require Parliamentary approval, but this can be acquired retroactively so long as the President seeks it within two months. There is no legal definition of a "declaration of war," but this requirement is meant to effectively require Parliamentary approval for one while giving leeway in critical circumstances.

The term length of the President is 4 years. There are no restrictions on the number of terms someone may server. Parliament can impeach the the President with a super majority (2/3rds) vote. In such cases, the President stays in office by is barred to run for reelection until being proven innocent in a Supreme Court trial, or if found guilty, until being pardoned by Parliament. Either the Prime Minister or the King may bring impeachment motions before Parliament.

List of Presidents of Tyras:
-Stamatias (current)
-Diogenes


The Monarchy
The King of Tyras is largely a figure head, but can be influential in national affairs if he is willing. The title is hereditary, handed down to the King's first-born son or his closest blood-relative in the absence of one (this includes a daughter, if there is one).

The most significant power of the King is the approval of Cabinet appointees. Officially this occurs as a single vote (he approves all appointees or none of them). By rejecting a proposal, elections are forced to be re-held. Once approved, he cannot go back on his decision until after the next election.

Another power the President wields is the ability to bring impeachment motions on the President to the Parliament, although he has no vote on the matter.

Besides these few powers, the King enjoys significant "Royal Privilege." This essentially gives the King the authority to insert himself into all national matters. One instance of Royal Privilege is that no matter or information can be withheld from the King should he request it, this including matters of military intelligence (though he must state what it is he requesting to see it, so it is still possible for highly confidential information to be withheld). He also has the privilege to host foreign dignitaries and engage in diplomacy as a representative of Tyras (even if he may not have the authority to commit to anything without approval).

List of Tyrian Kings:
-King Melas (Current)
-King Alfred
